Thanks zak. I,ve had the seat back now,and I must say,it looks great. I was a bit worried that it might look a little odd,and I was,nt sure how it would look....but I,me well chuffed with what the upholsterers done. Will try and get some photos on soon before I put the reg plate bracket on. Only because it looks un-cluttered like that.

Thanks guys...the diversion engine is the sensible option. . I,ve decided to do a bit of a revamp on the frame on this. I will dump the tank,and then cut the backbone of the frame. This will be replaced with a curved backbone which will arch over the top of the air filters and mate up with the headstock. The next step is going to be a bit more ambitious,as I intend to make my own petrol tank,which will slot underneath the curved backbone. It will possible be a split tank,so as to show the backbone. Once I start on it I will put the photos and updates in a new topic. |

Right,back on to the little gs. I still have,nt managed to balance the carbs yet, but I think the miss-firing problem maybe electrical. This is my theory. I think that either the cdi unit is on the way out or 1 of the coils. When I first start it up from cold and ride it,the miss firing is only very slight at the bottom of the rev range. As its warming up you can ride it nicely in top gear between 40 and 50 no problem. But as the bike gets warmer, that miss firing starts to become more present,and starts to climb higher into the revs...if you understand what I mean.
I was thinking that if the carbs was out of balance,the fluffiness on the throttle would be in the same rev range every time,and the warming up process would not affect it. Where as when a coil is breaking down,when they get hot they start to fail. Hope that makes sense. Any ideas please.
